Forcing others to bow to you? What kind of ability is this?
After curiously blinking his fox-like eyes, the Red-haired Director was quite interested and said,
"What about the specific costs? What are the consequences of failure?"
These... seem to be nonexistent?
Leon frowned and said uncertainly,
"They should be very low, right? It's just that the target range is a bit narrow, only effective on people who meet certain conditions."
After thinking for a moment, the Red-haired Director directly suggested,
"If you're sure there's no cost, then why not try it on me?"
Should I try it on the Director?
*Leon couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart upon hearing the Red-haired Director's suggestion.*
*He had long been curious whether the effect of the "Badge" could affect the "high-end powers" of this world, and the Red-haired Director, possessing extremely strong capabilities and unaffected by whether the test succeeded or failed, was undoubtedly the best test subject.*
"Then I'll give it a try!"
Grabbing this good opportunity decisively, Leon immediately switched to the [Migratory Thrush Prince] badge, then looked into the Red-haired Director's eyes and asked slowly,
"Why aren't you saluting me?"
"So, it's activated by language... huh?"
As soon as Leon finished speaking, the Red-haired Director's body trembled slightly, then promptly stood up from her chair and gave a strong, deep bow. However, between the two was a sturdy large office desk...
Watching the Red-haired Director's forehead hit the desk with a loud thud, Leon couldn't help but gasp. He then unhesitatingly turned to run, but unfortunately, he was pulled back by the hair tied around his neck before reaching the door.
"This ability of yours... is interesting."
Sitting back in the chair and covering the crack on the desk with a document, the Red-haired Director, whose face turned a bit red, cleared her throat and said,
"How should I say this... the stealth of activation is quite impressive, especially since it took effect so suddenly that even I couldn't react. Overall, it's quite good."
"Don't think I'm just making excuses."
Seeing Leon's real thoughts through his eyes, the Red-haired Director, who just lost face, clenched her fists and explained,
"I was afraid that resisting too fiercely would cause you harm due to excessive cost, so I intentionally restrained my strength and even cooperated on purpose, which is why... uh... why not try again this time? I'm sure I can block it!"
"Well... maybe we shouldn't?"
After hearing the Red-haired Director's invitation, Leon awkwardly shook his head, sensing trouble, and said,
"It was just a test of intensity. Since it took effect when you weren't paying attention, it should also work on those rebels, and that's enough for the test."
"Not enough, not enough."
Grinding her molars hard, the Red-haired Director smiled and said,
"Testing abilities should be as detailed as possible. How can we just do it half-heartedly?"
Under the Red-haired Director's "generous invitation," Leon returned to his original position and suggested guiltily,
"Uh... why don't we change locations? Keep a slight distance from the desk..."
"No need! Let's do it right here."
Seeing the cold light in the Director's eyes, Leon, hoping for the first time that the badge's effect wouldn't be too effective, reluctantly said,
"Would you... salute me?"
As soon as Leon finished speaking, the [Migratory Thrush Prince] on the badge panel flashed slightly, and the Red-haired Director stood up again, forcefully banging her head on the desk!
Looking at the Director maintaining a bowing posture, her butt sticking up on the desk, especially noticing her rapidly reddening ears, Leon's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
*After these two bangs, will I be given a hard time from now on?*
Sitting back in the chair with disbelief in her eyes, the Red-haired Director, who had smeared some ink from the document on her forehead, gritted her teeth and argued,
"Just now, I was a bit negligent. This time, I'll use an Anomalous Object to block together, doubling the resistance. If you can't handle the cost, stop immediately, and don't try to be brave!"
Seeing the upside-down "approved" printed on the Red-haired Director's forehead and knowing she was a bit unnerved, Leon held onto the last bit of hope and tried to refuse,
"Director, I have some things to do later. How about we call it a day for the test now..."
"Would you... bow to me?"
For the third time, standing up along with the chair tied to her behind, and a large chunk of flooring pulled out by her red hair, the Red-haired Director once again gave a loud, solid head bang to Leon and slowly sat back down, feeling as if her whole worldview had been reshaped.
*This isn't scientific!*
*My maximum Leon Value exceeds seventy, combined with the [Slaughter Blood Hair] No. 013, it's not something an ordinary Anomalous Object could affect! Forcibly making such a combination bow, it would probably take the Master of Bows or the God of Kowtows descending in person!*
*But in this world, would there be such a boring True God? Or...*
Looking at the somewhat anxious Leon in front of her, the Red-haired Director fell silent for a moment, then weakly waved him off,
"Just now... I wasn't very calm... um... you might want to get busy, I... I want to be alone..."
Without asking who she wanted to be alone with, the moment the Red-haired Director let him go, Leon didn't brush off the dust on himself and left the Director's office without saying a word.
Watching his more disheveled back, the Red-haired Director, whose mind was a confused whirlpool, couldn't help but laugh for a second before shaking her head in perplexity.
*Little Leon's Hierarchy may be more absurd than I imagined...* *Yeah... but if used correctly, it might have miraculous effects at critical moments?*
